Erektil dysfunksjon, impotens: Årsaker
Det å oppnå og vedlikeholde en ereksjon er avhengig av flere faktorer:

- Aterosklerose. Blodomløpet i penis må være inntakt, slik at det kan skje en oppsamling av blod i svamplegemene i penis
- Psykiske forhold
- Nerveimpulser
- Mannlig kjønnshormon, testosteron, er nødvendig for seksuallysten
Annonse
Defekter i disse systemene vil svekke potensen. I tillegg kan også ulike medisiner, særlig medikamenter mot alvorlige psykiske lidelser, ha en ugunstig innvirkning på kjønnsdriften og evnen til ereksjon.
